royal girl

Chapter 50 Put away your mind
Mrs. Dong looked at her daughter lying on the bed and sighed heavily, "I told you to pretend to be sick, are you really sick now?"

Huiyu didn't expect such a coincidence, so she had to say with a smile: "It's not that I don't want to go outside the city to suffer from the cold. Who would know that it can still be cold when I look at the snow at home. Mother, don't worry, didn't the doctor say that?" Well, it will be fine in a few days."

"You are not worrying at all."

"I'm a child, so there's no need for a child to worry." Huiyu smirked, looked at Mrs. Dong and asked, "You really plan to ignore the third brother?"

The last time Aunt Qing made a fuss, Second Madam Dong didn't give the Second Master a good look at all.The Second Master naturally found the Eldest Master himself, and wanted Dong Yunxuan to go to the academy to study with the Eldest Young Master Dong Yuncheng and the Second Young Master Dong Yunrong.Since the concubine of the first room can go, so can the second room, and the Eldest Master agreed immediately, which is not a big deal.However, it is the mistress's job to prepare pens, inks, papers and inkstones, clothes for four seasons, maids and servants, as well as daily living expenses.However, Mrs. Dong Er didn't care about anything, and Aunt Qing's concubine's room couldn't interfere in these matters, so she was naturally in a hurry.

Mrs. Dong flicked her nails, and said indifferently: "What do I care about? The bastard was raised by her mother's side since childhood, and naturally only his biological mother is in my heart. I have children and daughters. He took care of me, and I didn't seek the reputation of being virtuous and magnanimous. What did I do to embarrass myself? Is it possible that I will take care of his daily life and take care of his life, and he will be grateful to me? Stop dreaming. "

The Second Madam Dong could see clearly that Dong Yunxuan was only raised by Aunt Qing's side, so she was naturally dissatisfied with her aunt.In the original text, the original owner died, and the original owner's elder brother did not get well. In the end, the whole army of Mrs. Dong Er was wiped out. Wasn't it because of the remaining bastard?
Aunt Qing is very scheming, if the son she raises turns out to be a little white rabbit, she will bet her life on it.Mrs. Dong's second wife can see clearly, so she can understand like this.Raise your own child by yourself, I won't harm you, and you don't bother me, a line is drawn clearly and clearly.Aunt Qing was still not satisfied. As a concubine and a concubine, although Huiyu didn't want to admit it, they really wanted too much.

Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Dong Er said displeasedly: "It's really disappointing for them, let's talk about something happy. Dear daughter, what did your grandfather tell you in the letter? Tell your mother, and tell me by the way. Your grandfather said, if you have good leather, remember to send some back. The ones sent last time were all flawed. When you asked them to do it, don’t hit the stomach. Such a leather can still be used with a big hole. Is it?"

Huiyu: ...

After talking about some happy things with Mrs. Dong, Huiyu slowly changed the topic to the outside industry, "I know that my mother has many shops, and your dowry was envied by both aunts. "

It was mentioned in the original text that Mrs. Dong Er was born with a good life, she had a pair of good parents, and the dowry prepared for her was excellent.It's just that there are several good shops on the busiest street in Kyoto, and the good locations that can't be bought with money now, even the eldest wife of the house can't compare.It's not unreasonable for the second lady to have a strong waist and a lot of confidence.

"What do you want to do again?" Mrs. Dong Er looked at her daughter very warily. Her daughter has become more and more suspicious recently. , Now that I think about it, I feel that I was too careless. Fortunately, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary.Now I asked the dowry shop again, and immediately cheered up.

Huiyu looked at Mrs. Dong's second wife like a furry fox, and she was amused in her heart, but she said, "It's nothing, didn't my grandfather give me a lot of things at the border, and I just wanted to ask if I could put them in my mother's bag if I didn't need them." Consignment in the shop. I thought I would practice my hands first, and in the future, if I marry myself, I won’t be fooled by the slaves below, will I?”

It didn't sound like a big deal, so Mrs. Dong was relieved, but she still said with a straight face: "You said that you are a big girl, thinking about this all day, why don't I see you learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to give me a long face."

"I'm spiritual, and I can learn it as soon as I learn it. You can see that you are no longer my opponent in chess, aren't you mother?"

Mentioning the sadness of Mrs. Dong Er, her complexion became ugly, she snorted, and then said: "I'm a little clever and self-righteous. Anyway, I don't think this is a big deal, but if it spreads out, it will hurt your reputation." It’s not good. Where there are girls from all over the world doing business, it’s not like I’m going to lose my life, no way!”

"That's why I borrowed my mother's name. You are doing business in a serious way to earn some pocket money, right?" Huiyu didn't want to give up. In the future, she wanted Zhong Danian to pass on news outside and run errands for her. Success or failure is critical. "Mother, look at me. I'm free all day long. I'm closed at home and can't go out. I'm almost bored to death. The year is approaching. You don't like those furs in our warehouse. They are worth a lot of money outside. Now, just let me play, I promise that no one will know that it is my business outside, okay?"

Using the great method of coquettishness, Mrs. Dong couldn't stand it anymore, "I owed you brothers and sisters in my previous life, and each of them broke my heart."

Hearing Mrs. Dong's tone loosen, Huiyu immediately hit the iron while it was hot, and after finally grinding it down, Huiyu said again: "Since you are practicing for me, mother can't be stingy. Don't give me a bad location and delay me." Big money!"

She specifically said to make a lot of money, Mrs. Dong gave her daughter a blank look, and she said with a complicated expression: "The things in my hands will not belong to your brothers and sisters in the future. If you don't want me, it will not be cheap even if you give it to beggars in the future." .”

Hearing this, Huiyu was actually very sad. Mrs. Dong Er must be very disappointed with Master Dong Er. She would rather give up her dowry than take advantage of the bastard, which shows the depth of resentment.

"When I got married, I had a few shops in good locations. Later, these shops made money, and I bought a few more when the time was right. Now I will give you the one I bought later, just in time. I rented out that shop, and now the lease term has come and it is idle."

"This is called sleepiness and a pillow, which shows that God is also perfect."

"A slick girl." Mrs. Dong Er cursed with a smile, then sighed and said: "Mother can't be with you forever, it's good for you to learn more. Shall I find you a mature and prudent shopkeeper to take care of you?"

Huiyu was taken aback for a moment, hearing that Mrs. Dong's posture seemed to be that she had all the shop for herself, she couldn't help but looked at her in surprise.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Dong raised her eyebrows and said domineeringly: "My daughter wants to practice hand skills, so she can't just learn superficial things casually. If you want to learn, just learn it for me. Isn't it just A shop, even if you let me play in the shop in the end, you won't even damage a single hair of your mother."

What is domineering?You ask Da Furen if she can give Dong Wan a shop in a good location so that she can practice her skills with such a hemorrhage, and be prepared to lose everything?

Huiyu laughed, and asked Mrs. Dong Er to talk about what the shop was selling. Mrs. Dong frowned when she heard this, "Where did you come up with so many ghost ideas? Who are you listening to?" Speaking of?"

Huiyu knew that it was possible to hide it from others, but trying to hide it from Mrs. Dong was a little unreliable, so she pretended to be reasonable and said: "Recently, my grandfather collected a lot of folk stories for me, and many of them talked about the goods in the south and the north. Selling, selling goods from the north to the south, this kind of money is very profitable. I thought that if I could sell the furs at the border, I would naturally be able to sell some good things from the south, wouldn’t it be great?”

Hearing what her father had caused, Mrs. Dong's eyes widened and she was speechless for a while, before she said: "You just see too shallowly, let me ask you, what do you want? Selling, how do you know what people in Kyoto like in the south? You guarantee that people will buy what you choose? Second, the territory in the south is huge, there are no familiar people running the pier, there is no smooth wharf to transport goods, and there is no ordering along the way. Will you be able to do business smoothly? Let me tell you, don’t underestimate those petty officials. As the saying goes, the king of Hades is easy to see, but the little devil is hard to deal with. A small trial may cause you to bleed and lose everything."

Huiyu: ...

Isn't Mrs. Dong Er a lady of everyone?How did she know this?

Seeing Huiyu dumbfounded, Mrs. Dong thought her daughter had been frightened, so she calmed down and said, "You can learn if you want. Anyway, you don't need to worry about these things. When the time comes, you can just take the Dong family's post." It can be done." It's just that the eldest lady may be unhappy again, but compared with her daughter, it's nothing for the eldest lady to be unhappy.

Huiyu knew that Mrs. Dong Er had misunderstood her, but she didn't explain it clearly. That's fine, so she nodded, "I'll learn first. If it really doesn't work, in the future, my mother can find a few more capable companions to send me off. .”

"Are you ashamed or not, you can say such things."

"Didn't I tell you..."

Mrs. Dong Er made arrangements here, and Huiyu began to recover from her illness with peace of mind, waiting for Zhong Danian's letter.

In the evening, Dong Feiling came to see her. Since Aunt Liang came back, Dong Feiling came to Huiyu's side less.Now she goes out with Dong Wan to give porridge, and if she doesn't have a good rest after returning, what is she doing here?Huiyu was suspicious, but she was invited in anyway.It is said that they are going out to give porridge, but in fact these girls will not show their faces, but they just stay in the tent behind.

"Second sister is better?" Dong Feiling smiled and expressed condolences. She was wearing lotus-colored shirts, which made people feel a little warmer in winter.

"It's much better. The doctor said that you just can't be exposed to the wind." Huiyu responded with a smile, "Your sister has worked hard all day, and she came to see me specially. You also have to take care of yourself."

"Thank you sister for your concern. In fact, we are sitting in the tent at the back, and the charcoal fire inside is not cold. In the front, we have our own butler to take care of us, so it's not too tiring." Dong Feiling said, "Today, we are outside It's snowing so hard, we don't have to go out tomorrow, I'm afraid the official road will be buried in the snow. I haven't seen my second sister, but today the Xia family's porridge shed is very lively, everyone in line can see it No end."

It is also porridge, but some people make the porridge thicker, while others make it thinner.It is natural to spend some rice grains for the thick ones, but after drinking the porridge, the porridge owner naturally likes to go to the porridge shed on the side where the porridge is generous.Xia's porridge soup is rich in rice, other families are not as good as the Xia family's foundation, so naturally they can't fight, Xia Bingyu's reputation is good for doing too much, but it's okay to offend other nobles in Kyoto.

Moreover, Huiyu also knew that Xia's porridge shop would not be able to supply rice and food, and it was Ji Fuyan who secretly transferred food from a grain shop outside Beijing to Beijing to maintain it.The snow is getting heavy again, and the road will be even more difficult to walk. If the food is cut off, the victims outside the city will probably lose their stability again.

Now it is just porridge for the people, and the imperial court has not opened a warehouse to release grain.The granary can't be opened easily. Once it is opened, it will attract refugees to rob it. Once the official warehouse is besieged, it will become a big deal.Therefore, no matter what natural disasters occur, Dajin’s official warehouse will never be opened easily. It’s not that the court is ruthless, but once it is opened, it is afraid that it will be used by those who are against the court, and the official warehouse will be taken away. What a happy event.

Thinking of this, Huiyu looked at Dong Feiling and said, "My sister has been working hard for days, so she really should take a rest. What's more, such a big matter is the court's business, we just do our best with little strength."

"What my sister said is that my younger sister thinks the same way, but it seems that the elder sister doesn't think so, and she still wants to go out tomorrow. But my younger sister really can't hold on these days, so I come to bother my elder sister."

As soon as Huiyu heard this, she understood that Aunt Liang didn't want her daughter to accompany Dong Wan out of the city house all day like a follower.It was Dong Wan who gained a good reputation, but her daughter also endured hardships. People don't remember who the daughter of the Dong family's concubine was.Dong Feiling came to this patient's place for a while, and if she also got a cold or something after returning, it would make sense.

Aunt Liang really had a good plan, and Huiyu didn't mind that their mother and daughter borrowed some wind from here, so after thinking about it, she said, "In this case, sister, let's sit back for a while."

Dong Feiling laughed, knowing that Huiyu understood what she meant.

On the second day, as expected, it was reported that sister Dong Feiling visited the second girl affectionately, but unfortunately also contracted a cold.The angry Second Madam Dong slapped the table and almost rolled up her sleeves to fight with Aunt Liang.

Huiyu persuaded Mrs. Dong Er again, suppressed her anger, and persuaded her to go back to the yard, and then she was relieved.Before Huiyu came to her senses and hadn't even had a sip of tea, Xueqi hurried back, looked at Huiyu and bowed, and then said, "Girl, I heard that the big girl's carriage broke down when she arrived at the gate of the city." , just happened to meet the second prince who was out of the city, and the second prince personally sent him back. Now the second prince is drinking tea with the Duke Guo in the front yard, and the eldest girl has returned to Liufangwu."

Huiyu was taken aback, didn't remember such a thing in the original text?That's a bit of a coincidence, but I don't know what kind of mentality Xia Bingyu has when she finds out about this matter.But as long as the male lead is not something she provoked, Huiyu didn't want to worry too much, so she nodded, "Order, no one in our yard is allowed to chew their tongues."

"Yes, the servant will go here."

The eldest lady in Liufangwu was talking to Dong Wan, and the eldest lady looked a little ugly, "Why did I meet the second prince so well, and was sent back by the second prince. You stay away from the second prince in the future, listen Have you arrived yet?"

Dong Wan was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why her mother's attitude changed.It is clear that my mother also wanted to take a chance on this marriage before. Although she is still a little younger now, if the marriage agreement is made first, it is common to wait until Jiji gets married.The marriages of the daughters of families like theirs started to look at each other early, and no one would think that there was anything ulterior.

Seeing her daughter's appearance, the eldest lady had no choice but to say: "A few days ago I was a guest at Duke Xinguo's house, Mrs. Xinguo has deliberately leaked the word to me that the empress in the palace wants to get closer."

Dong Wan froze, kissing more?The second prince and Xia Bingyu are cousins...

His face turned pale, and he looked at the eldest lady, "Mother..."

"Put all your thoughts away. Although this marriage is good, since Lady Zhaoyi has leaked information to Duke Xin's mansion, it can be seen that this matter is inseparable. Mrs. Xin Guogong invited me to drink tea on purpose. Tell me about this matter, it can be seen that it must have been reported to our family because of the rumors a few days ago, so as not to cause a rift between the two families because of this. The empress in the palace is looking at her own niece, what can we say? From now on, no matter in front of or behind people, you should pay more attention to me, if this kind of thing happens again, you will go out less or not go out in the future." The lady is cruel, but there is no other way.Her daughter didn't feel distressed, but when she thought of the sarcasm in Mrs. Xin Guogong's eyes, she felt that there was nowhere to put her old blushing.

The eldest lady left, Dong Wan leaned against the soft pillow and didn't say a word for a long time.

Xia's granary was in a hurry, and Ji Qiyu still knew about such a secret matter.On the day he knew, Zhong Danian returned to Beijing.

Huiyu knew that Zhong Danian had returned to Beijing, and immediately met him, because according to Huiyu's previous calculation, he would not be able to come back this year, so something serious happened.

Zhong Danian came back this time because he had something to do. He knelt on the ground through the screen and said, "My servant went all the way to Yuzhou smoothly. After entering Yuzhou, Cheng also found the shop that the girl mentioned. I went in to inquire. Coincidentally, their shopkeeper was not there, and they said they were going to pick up the goods from other places, and they said they would be back in three or two days. The slave thought that he would wait for a few days, but before they came back, they heard that their shopkeeper had been attacked and suffered Seriously injured. The slave didn't dare to delay and immediately inquired about the place and rushed to the place, but he didn't see anyone. I heard that he was seriously injured. I don't know if he can survive. The slave couldn't get in, so he had to let Brother Deng I climbed back to the wall and showed the girl’s letter to Kan Zhiyi, and then Kan Zhiyi asked Brother Deng to deliver this letter to you. The servant was afraid that something would happen to Kan Zhiyi when we left, so he asked Brother Deng to stay and guard me I came back overnight."

Xueying took the letter from Zhong Danian, passed the screen to Huiyu.

Huiyu looked at Zhong Danian, "You are doing very well, you go to rest first, I will call you if I have something to do."

"Yes, the servant will leave." Zhong Danian backed out with his head down, and he didn't dare to look up until he left the room.

Things were a little different from what she remembered. She didn't expect that she would subdue Kan Zhiyi ahead of time this time, and let Zhong Dainian encounter him being attacked. Does this mean that her actions are actually recognized?In fact, she can also take Kan Zhiyi for her own use?

Huiyu has always been afraid of one thing, she is afraid that her actions will cause the reverse development of the original text.He will be backlashed by the strong main line of the original author. After all, the original book is powerful, and he is not sure that he can really change the things in the book.

However, Kan Zhiyi was injured and was ambushed. What happened to Xia Bingyu after the original text, unexpectedly happened to her!

Huiyu is so excited now that she wants to jump up and yell. Does this mean that as long as she can make reasonable arrangements, she can reasonably snatch the resources in the book from the heroine?

Huiyu was so excited that she couldn't sleep well all night.It wasn’t until his mood calmed down that he opened Kan Zhiyi’s letter and read it. As expected, Kan Zhiyi was indeed hunted down by his enemies. He read Huiyu’s letter to him, stating that as long as Huiyu can avenge him , he will be loyal to Huiyu for the rest of his life.Of course, Kan Zhiyi didn't know that his allegiance was a woman, he didn't know Huiyu's identity, and he didn't know why Huiyu knew so much about him, and he raised a question or two in his heart, but Kan Zhiyi's biggest wish now is revenge.Don't say that Huiyu is a good person, even if Huiyu is a bad person, as long as he can avenge him, he will swear allegiance to the death.

Huiyu wrote a reply letter agreeing to Kan Zhiyi's request.However, Huiyu now has no way to get Duke Ding to avenge Kan Zhiyi, nor can she share the matter with her grandfather. The resources she can use to avenge Kan Zhiyi are basically none.

Huiyu had thought of this a long time ago, and remembered the lack of food in the Xia family and the grand occasion when the second prince's popularity increased greatly in the court and he was unparalleled in the limelight.Ji Fuyan was short of food, so he could only get it from a granary in other places if he wanted to adjust it.But now the road is blocked by heavy snow, which is more severe than the snow disaster in the original text, so it is obviously not feasible to go out of the city to adjust grain.

After thinking about it, Huiyu wrote an anonymous letter to Ji Fuyan with her left hand.

Ji Fuyan looked at the tightly sealed envelope in his hand, and frowned at the guard who brought the letter in, "Did you see anyone?"

"No, the sender probably threw it in front of Duke Xin's mansion in the dark. The envelope was written by you personally, and Duke Xin didn't dare to open it privately, so he handed it over to his subordinates." Ma Yuan bowed. turned back.

It was the first time Ji Fuyan encountered such a weird thing, he hesitated while looking at the envelope.

Ma Yuan immediately stepped forward and said, "I don't know if there is anything weird in this envelope, please ask your highness to let your subordinates open it for you to have a look."

Ji Fuyan nodded and handed the letter to Ma Yuan.He lived in the palace, and outsiders naturally had no ability to go to the palace to deliver this letter to him. Knowing that it could be handed over to Duke Xinguo's mansion, this disturbed the Duke of Xinguo's mansion.

Just as he was thinking, Ma Yuan had already opened the envelope and carefully observed that there was no harm, so he handed the letter to Ji Fuyan respectfully.

Ji Fuyan reached out to take the letter, opened it slowly, and read it line by line.The more he looked, the paler and greener his face became, with faint anger, and the veins on the back of his hand holding the letter paper burst out. Ma Yuan didn't dare to show his anger, and stood aside waiting for orders.

Ji Fuyan was a little startled, the owner of this letter actually knew about the urgent matter of the Xia family's granary, and this matter was kept secret, just for fear of causing trouble.However, this person only wanted to eradicate his enemies, and was willing to pay with a granary. This granary was located in the capital, and it solved the urgent need of the Xia family.The letter said that in order to show sincerity, one-third of the rice can be used as sincerity after three days.

Ji Fuyan suppressed his anger, this kind of thing of being caught by prying eyes is indeed terrible, but the immediate urgent need is indeed worrying. Three days later, the Xia family's granary will be exhausted, and the person who wrote this letter knows it clearly.

Ji Fuyan was not someone who could be fooled easily, so he remembered the person in the letter and immediately asked Ma Yuan to inquire.Just wanting to find out the details of a person who is not from the capital, it will definitely not take three or two days. Before that, Ji Fuyan still has to make a decision.

It was the first time he encountered being forced to make up his mind to make a choice, especially since he didn't know who the other party was.If it was normal, he wouldn't bother, but now...

"Brother Second Emperor's side Ma Yuan left Beijing overnight?" Ji Qiyu dropped her son without raising her head.

Jiang Qing stood aside, nodded and replied: "Yes, my subordinates checked it out specially. First, Duke Xin's mansion received a letter inexplicably, and then Duke Xin took the letter and entered the palace. Soon Ma Yuan I'm leaving Beijing."

Ji Qiyu couldn't figure out what happened here for a while, so she asked with a thoughtful face, "Has anyone followed?"

"Following up, it's just..." Jiang Qing didn't know whether he should say it, but after thinking about it, he said, "I don't know if it's a coincidence, Ma Yuan went in the direction of the eldest son of the nanny next to Miss Dong a few days ago." The direction Zhong Da Nian went to, that Zhong Da Nian just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Qing stopped talking.
